IslandGirl_Becks Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I took my car in for its pre-road trip checkup (yes, I would normally do this myself) and started wondering: What do the rest of y'all drive? What's your dream vehicle? I drive a a 2011 Golf mk VI TDI. Sie spricht Deutsch, und ihr Name ist Moni... pictures when i can dig them up! Quote We are what we repeatedly do.

Bearded_Dragon Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Depending on what day it is I either drive a 1999 Audi A4 or a 2000 Nissan Micra. I'm effectively like Snoop Dogg....in absolutely no ways Quote Link to comment
Nefiros Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I drive a Nissan patrol single cab ute. And what I would do for a 67 dodge charger probably shouldn't go on record anywhere. Ever. Lol Quote Link to comment
sylph Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 2014 Toyota FJ cruiser, white. For "realistic" choices, it's probably my dream vehicle. Love it. Now that the weather's hopefully done being an idiot, I'll soon break out the 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250. If money were no object, an Aston Martin DB9 would be my choice. Quote Link to comment
Frost of the Gloaming Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 We bought a 1999 Saturn 9-10yrs ago for $4k it gets around 30mpg mixed and about 34-35mpg on the highway, has the looks of a family sedan but stilll gives you a smooth ride at 75mph and can handle all the curves of the Adirondacks; really it's nothing to brag about but overall is a fantastic car, especially if you are looking for a 2nd commuter car. I honestly don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon. Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Frost of the Gloaming Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I forgot about my dream car, I drool over most of the super cars on Top Gear but my real love is Rally Racing, I used to drive a busted up Subaru through an old logging roads and atv trails around the Taconics So life dream which ties into car dream is to buy big old patch of land with old logging roads and getting myself an old Subaru WRX or Nissan S30 Fairlady Z I really am a muddy gear head redneck Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Bearded_Dragon Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 My dream car is actually a 1992 Ford F-150 - it's the car my Grandpa had, and what I learned to drive in (when I was like 8). Not sure if I'd be able to easily get my hands on one in England, though. Quote Link to comment

iatetheyeti Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 What I drive depends on what side of the country I'm living on... For about half of the year I drive a 2003 Vauxhall Meriva, and for the other half it's either a bus or bike, such is the woe of sharing a car... Heh, it actually works quite well, financially speaking. Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I'd wear a tux, and I'm far from a Bond fan, and I hate wearing dress clothes... that car just calls out for a tux while driving. Nothing else would work... I almost picture myself getting in it, in my jeans, shirt and boots... and the car throwing me out. 1 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Oramac Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cars. I love cars. My degree is in Automotive actually. Sweetness is the name of this thread! I have 2, currently. Daily Driver: 2011 Mitsubishi Galant. Point A to Point B, and it gets decent mileage. Weekend Warrior: 1968 Chevy Camaro. Got it at the end of my junior year of high school, and been rockin the old school V8 power ever since! As for dream cars? Y'all don't have that much time. I listed em out once. There was about 45 of them. Just a few: 1967 Corvette L88 convertible (only 3 exist) 1963 Corvette Split-window coupe 2014 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta 1998 McLaren F1 3 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
Rooks Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Daily is a 2010 Subaru Impreza. Base model. No bells and whistles at all, but at least it's a 5-speed. Also, have a 1999 Ford Ranger XLT which I have dream of some day putting solid axles under with 35 boggers. Yeah... I'm a touch redneck. As for dream cars, it changes so frequently. Right now, I'd love a 1971 Nissan Bluebird SSS. Or maybe a '71 Skyline GTX. Something about the old school Japanese cars has me just fascinated right now. Plus once they are 25 years old, it's legal to get them imported! 1 Quote Link to comment
Oramac Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Plus once they are 25 years old, it's legal to get them imported! How right you are. I'm not a fan of most Japanese cars, but the Skyline is one that I really do love. http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-first-r32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-legally-impor-1493127416 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
humanperson832 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I would buy a Tesla in a heartbeat if I had the cash. As it stands, my silver 2010 Toyota Prius III with the deathly hallows sticker on the back serves me just fine. (Her name is Larissa. Don't act like you don't have a name for your car.)

Fenshire Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 2007 Mini Cooper, custom made online and bought fresh from the factory. It's my pride and joy and my dream car. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xanos Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I, until very recently, drove the most unbelievably sexy car. Twas a dark purple 1996 dodge minivan with a giant crunch mark in the side passenger door. Hot damn were the ladies flocking to me. (Obvious sarcasm is obvious)Dream car, oddly enough, would probably be a DeLorean. Just because its awesome and stands out, but its still a small car and I enjoy driving those a great deal more. Also its not a purple minivan, so that's a plus too. 3 Quote "If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there" Link to comment
